This is what OP has missed. Acting like the female firefly is what gives Kyra strength to lure him into her trap. He was never going to leave her alone

I'm not sure if people are missing it or just want to not think of Kyra as a murderer. I've seen this type of post a lot over the past several months, I avoided posts about the book until I read it last spring.

I see Kyra as someone who took her cues from nature and decided she couldn't rely on anyone else to solve her problems, so she took care of business and was intelligent enough to do it without suffering the consequences of man's laws.
